dc.description.abstractThe value of autopsy in understanding the natural course of any disease is beyond any argument. The reluctance of pathologists to perform autopsy in HIV infected cadavers is justified due to the risks involved to the prosector and the morgue attendants. A relative low risk needle necropsy protocol is proposed using fine needle aspiration cytology, tru-cut biopsies and microbiological examination. Diagnosis could be offered in all the forty-four needle necropsies performed. Disseminated tuberculosis in 18/44 (40.9%) cases, disseminated cryptococcosis in 12/44 (27.2%) cases, poly-microbial infections in 27.2% cases and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 9% cases were detected in the study. Infectious agents like Histoplasma capsulatum, Isospora belli, tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii, Candida sp and Cryptococcus sp could be demonstrated in the samples obtained in the study. Lack of material for study of gross pathology, inaccessibility of deep-seated lesions and risk of needle stick injury to the prosector though low are the limitations of this procedure.en_US
